Elon Musk supported Cloudflare's forecast of rapid growth in automated traffic. The entrepreneur noted the inevitable excess of artificial intelligence activity over ordinary users of the network. Analysts expect an increase in the volume of requests from bots by one thousand times. The head of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince, previously reported on the primary superiority of machines over people. Initially, experts predicted this event towards the end of 2000. However, the activity of neural networks grew so fast that the preponderance was recorded in May. Thomas Seifert, the company's Chief Financial Officer, confirmed the continuation of the current dynamics at a special conference. He noted that people risk becoming a simple statistical error in the global network. This will happen solely due to the incredible growth rates of modern intelligent agents.

Specialists update profile data daily on a special Cloudflare Radar dashboard. This tool closely monitors the current traffic ratio of bots and ordinary people. Matthew Prince actively referenced this section in his June post. A month later, Elon Musk drew attention to the same conclusions. Comparing different telemetry sources opens up a rather interesting analytical perspective for researchers. Cloudflare Radar measures the proportion of bots based on standard requests to the company's servers. Last year's Thales report recorded a slightly different indicator of automatic traffic. The share of machines in the entire global network has reached fifty-three percent. The discrepancy in numbers is explained by the different sample of domains and specific evaluation criteria. There is no single industry standard for measuring such traffic yet.

The current situation is reminiscent of the early controversies about Internet service provider coverage in the nineties. Each large company used its own method of counting active users of the network. A serious technical risk remains behind the scenes of the main public discussions on this issue. The strong discrepancy between vendor metrics greatly complicates the work of relevant regulators and developers. It is becoming more difficult for infrastructure companies to rely on a single picture of what is happening on the Internet. The market may remain without a common standard for accounting for agent traffic for years.
